Prompted by the launch of the new Paterno Family Football Experience, Dan examines how Penn State and many of its supporters worked to shield the program's legacy while minimizing accountability for those who enabled Sandusky's abuse. Plus, Dan discusses how Stan Kroenke's approach with the Angels provides a modern example of what committed, hands-on ownership can look like in professional sports. Later, the focus shifts to the Cubs, where a bullpen meltdown has become a major concern as pressure mounts on Craig Counsell and Tommy Hottovy to find answers before it derails the club's postseason hopes. And finally, the Tommy Pham story takes another entertaining turn as the veteran outfielder reunites with the White Sox, adding another chapter to one of baseball's most colorful careers.
